The Rewards of an Early Morning Walk





I'm leading an early morning wildflower walk today along Spanish Creek near the Oakland Feather River Camp and here are some photos I've taken this past week as I scouted the area. There are at least 75 species of wildflowers blooming at this time and dozens of species of birds constantly singing. By early afternoon, the same area looks a bit different as some fo the early-morning bloomers have closed up for the day while others have just opened. Click on any image here for a larger view and a caption identifying the flower.

  1. Wonderful shots of the flowers. I'm going to be getting up early this summer as well but for swimming in the pool to start my days.
